You might want to look around the thread.. I have included the thread link for you:<a href="http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25088" target="_blank">E60 525i M Sport Engine Oil Low</a>Some E60 owners experience this problem at 5000, some 6000 and some even 7000... but for your case, 3500 is quite serious. I know there is one forumer by the name of yellowmanta who has actually sent his car back to have the engine block replaced by AB in Segambut.. of course, he doesn't have to pay as the cost alone is already about RM22k!!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" />You might want to send him a message to ask on this and how to go about replacing the engine block.Some forumers here have already accepted the fact that the engine is like this and keep a litre or two of engine oil in the boot area just in case... I don't know about you.Having said that, not all E60 encounter this problem.. as my E60 with the Magnesium engine has no problem clocking 10000km everytime... no engine oil low or whatsoever. Lucky me :top: Good luck bro!!!</blockquote>
